UNC, Wake, Duke, GT: 0 Maryland: 1 (best computer numbers) Miami, Virginia Tech: 2 (I am hesitant to say only 2 for VT, but being in the ACC finals would make them hard to deny, even with bad computer numbers) NC State: 3 (like with VT, only a trip to the finals would get enough […]
ACC 2004-05 Awards
** Disclaimer – I was out of town on business, and did not see the official picks before making this list. It is a complete coincidence that they match up so well. ** Sadly, the good folks at StateFansNation don’t have a ballot in the all-ACC, COY, ROY, and POY voting. Additionally, I haven’t polled […]

Quote: Tudor on Wake-State
